This location was the absolute best we've stayed in at Beachhead because of it's top floor, closest location to the beach. It is easy access to the beach everyday and the boardwalk areas to get from there to the pool and back again were super convenient. The beds were very comfortable and we liked the open layout with the master bedroom being on the ocean view side. This location doesn't hear any noise at night from the neighboring complex or from either sides. Beachhead also has what we thought to be the least crowded section of the beach.

The only negatives we had were in the dated kitchen (which we were prepared for from the reviews), but to note are the following: the microwave plate doesn't spin so cooking is uneven, bring your own can opener, and the dishwasher racks have lost a lot of their coating in many places and rusted/broken off (but it works just fine). Even still, we adapted in our 9-day stay and will definitely select this unit again when we come back.

Dewayne & Toni D. July 3, 2013

This was our third year to go to Port A we have enjoyed every year. We have stayed in a different room every year. We plan to go back next year and stay in the same place we like the location on Beachhead Condos and the access to the beach is great for us.
Thank you look forward to seeing you again next year.

Hi,
This condo needs some updates, CHEAP blinds falling off window, carpet needs replaced BADLY, bathrooms OLD...spend $1000 bucks and make it livable! Great view and nice amenities.

Jesse B. October 12, 2012

Waking up with a beautiful sunrise over the ocean was worth the trip itself. Lovely little town with very nice and helpful people. Definitely planning on going back!

Rebecca L. October 31, 2012

We looked forward to our vacation to Port A, but were very, very disappointed in the lodging at Beachhead Condos. The condo rented looked as if no care to the place had been given ever. There was a musty smell, the carpet was in very bad shape, the kitchen stove was unusable do to the burners not sitting correctly so we could not even cook there. The cookware was scratched and the teflon pans were pitiful. The beds were terrible, we rolled into the middle of the bed. Box springs were shot as well in all of the beds. I will be contacting Groupon with this review as well. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We felt very much like we were taken advantage of. The place we rented was not what was described on the website. The unit was very substandard.

John and Beverley P. May 7, 2013

This was our 13th year at Beachhead and as usual very enjoyable. The addition of a new Basthroom sink and Vanity was a long awaited and welcome addition. Thanks to Cynthia and Gerry and Greg for help and assistance

Anonymous September 2, 2012

the location was wonderful! The kitchen floor needed to be mopped and the carpet needed to be cleaned. The rest of it was okay.

Jeff F. July 3, 2012

Beach Head was recommended to us by a friend, but I would not recommend it because of the steep price. For the price, I would expect both bedrooms to have quality queen-sized beds. We are planning to return to Port Aransas with friends in November, but are not able to share this condo because of the twin beds. The carpet in our unit wasn't even installed, just layed upon the floor. The refrigerator wasn't working when we arrived, causing us to buy multiple bags of ice until it was working (24 hours later) and the internet service was not working, causing us to spend $20 for extra data. The most disappointing aspect of our visit was the lack of music playing devices (CD player, etc.) We would be interested to know more about your other properties for our future visits. Thank you, Gretchen Farris

Anonymous June 26, 2012

the property was very well maintained and although the unit was clean the carpet was stained and all the furniture was old and worn out. the kitchen cookware was awful, i wouldn't cook anything in it.

rhonda g. June 26, 2012

wonderful weekend. This unit has a fantastic view.

Dan B. October 11, 2011

great location..but this unit really needs an update..also sure would be nice if the windows opened. We probably wouldn't stay there again because you cant open the windows to hear the ocean, feel the breeze....

Julie C. September 7, 2011

This unit was in need of serious updating. The pots and pans in the kitchen were very used. The bathroom door and celing in the guest bathroom was in need of repair and/or replacement. The unit was however, very clean, the management company extremely
accomodating and professional. The views from the balcony, amazing and made it all worth while. We found the beds to be very comfortable. I thought it was a bit pricey for an outdated unit, however it was Labor day weekend so we expected to pay more. Overall,
enjoyed our stay very much. Would come back again.

Mary D. June 13, 2011

My family and I loved staying at Beachhead. The location is great and the condos were spacious, clean and fully equipped with all the comforts of home. The big sparkling clean pool was a bonus for the grandkids. The only thing that wasn't great was the skillets in Serene Seashell 508BH but we made do. Management was great, they definitely took care of us. We actually had booked two 2/bdrm units and stayed the first 4 nights in those units that were great as well. We enjoyed it so much we just didn't want to leave and fortunately management was able to put us in to two other units for the next two nights. Port A is a great place to bring the family for R&R, fishing, dolphin watching, etc. We plan to come back next year and will definitely stay at Beachhead.

David P. October 5, 2011

although we really enjoyed are stay, we thought the condo needed some updating ie bathrooms kitchen carpet or tile and paint

Anonymous August 3, 2011

All minimum expectations were met with this property, and the unit was very clean. It definitely served it's purpose, but the kitchen was older and not well stocked with pots, pans, etc. and the bathrooms were tiny and the water pressure low, but there was always hot water. AC worked great and great view. Too expensive for the quality - much newer, nicer, more modern condos for less money in the area.

Anonymous August 10, 2011

This unit has a wonderful view of the beach. The unit could use a little updating but overall it met our needs.

Cheryl P. April 29, 2015

Location and view wonderful. The size of the unit was great. Location on Port A was great. Negatives: Both bathrooms need to be updated. Also the door locks would not lock; management company called a locksmith. The locks were oiled; but this really needs to be replaced. I would recommend Beachhead; maybe not this unit until updated.

Anonymous July 24, 2011

Once again we enjoyed our stay. The only comments I have are that the turntable didnt work in the microwave and the pots and pans, etc. need to be updated. The ceiling in the one bathroom looks like its about to fall down....the place need an overhaul but we always love staying at beachhead. Love the view!! I hope to be able to come up next summer and stay in the same unit as well. Thank you for a wonderful time~~!!

Anonymous October 14, 2015

If you are looking for a property close to the beach, this is a great place. However, this condo is very outdated. The sleeper sofa in the living room very unconfortable. The kitchen could use a few more dishes.

Nancy S. September 23, 2015

For the most part, it was nice. The flyer advised there were two covered parking spaces for each unit; but there was only one so had to keep switching vehicles out. One of the bathrooms had feces all around the toilet bowl when we arrived. We have stayed there before and overall, it was OK.

Michael M. May 10, 2011

Cons: Refrigerator sounded like a diesel truck running because the fan in the freezer was broken.
Top heating coils in oven were hanging down halfway into the oven.
Microwave turntable did not work.
Carpets were filthy.
Bathrooms had damaged doors and fixtures.
Only room for one parking space in this unit despite the information given in advance.
No daily maid service, not even trash pickup or replacement of paper towels.
Pros: Great view. Quiet complex. Great walkway to beach.
Verdict: There are better places to stay for the money in Port A. Whoever owns this unit is apparently unwilling to invest in the basic upkeep. Another unit may be better, but I wouldn't risk it.

Rodolfo G. May 19, 2015

The 2 bedroom condo was okay nothing to brag about. The facility seemed musky but I guess the location does not help so I can't really complain too much, however the rains flooded the entire parking area up to one foot of water at room 508 so it was horrible having to wade in water every time you exited/entered your vehicle. For the price I believe the place should have been better maintained. They could have at least pumped out the water from the parking facilities once the rain stopped on Friday night, instead it was flooded until Sunday when I left.

John and Beverley P. April 16, 2012

Bev and I have vacationed in Port A Beachhead for the last 12 years and enjoyed it every year. We like Port A Escapes method of paying our monthly rent by Mastercard. As for Beachhead condo #508 the bathroom in the bedroom by the kitchen could use some upgrading.The sink is rusty and the faucets drip Brenda and Peter were very accomodating. The manager Cynthia was also friendly as was JP

Anonymous July 29, 2015

Very disappointed with our stay and the management. We called multiple times to get access to wifi and no one got back to us. Dishwasher didn't work so we had to hand wash everything. Garbage disposal didn't work. Light in kitchen worked on and off. The outside patio light never worked. Master bedroom lights needed replacing. I left a complain to management and I never heard anything back. The extra sheets were NOT clean. The location is ideal and the beach access is great.

Anonymous July 29, 2015

The only thing going for it is the location and view. Very rundown and outdated. Uncomfortable beds with no mattress pads and stained mattresses.

Anonymous June 17, 2011

If a condo needs updating, they should tell you. If we were going for "rustic" we would have chosen this at a discounted price, but that was not the case. Check in was not available and took several phone calls to find out what to do & where to go. When we checked out we told the management about our experience and were told they would compensate in some way. The called back and said they would not. Hopefully changes will be made to this unit.

Audrey M. September 4, 2014

Overlooking the gulf, this condo had a nice breeze, while the other side of the condo was hot. All amenities worked just fine. Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs, but that was OK - a sacrifice for a great view and cool breeze. A tad outdated on furniture, but who cares? We were there to have a good time, and that we did! Nice pool, too. Very comfortable there. Would rent it again. Good price on this condo for the location. We could even scoot on our push-peds into town. Go for it!

Anonymous July 4, 2014

Beachhead is a place we've stayed for generations. Always enjoy it and will continue to come back as long as we can. It's like a home away from home.

Gary L. August 5, 2014

Staying at Beachhead has always been such a fun experience for our family. We have been staying here since 1988 or so and have never been disappointed and this year was no different. Staff on site was just as amiable as usual. What I would like to see is a layout for the of the complex on paper when we pick up our keys from Port Aransas EScapes. In the past, we could get that. Will definitely be back.

Anonymous May 28, 2014

Since mid-80s, my family and friends have stayed many times at Beachhead, and this time might have been our last. 508 is not worth the amount charged, needs a lot of up-grading to merit the bill. The doors are off, a rusted chair was on the balcony, the remote control didn't have a backing and batteries fell out, the carpet is stained enough to give the place a 50s motel look, not one clothes hanger in place, small drops of grease on the stoves, and if I owned the place I would've changed the furniture several years ago. The location is too good for what 508 offers. Like I said, we have stayed there many times...and it's gotten (inside condo)old-looking--sadly. My family has fond memories of our visits ... but the value isn't there anymore, and we will no longer recommend to our friends. By the way, let the onsite manager check guests in...driving to the busy mainstreet over a mile away is making guests work--not an escape--and not leisure. Thank you for asking for my opinion.

Love the Beachhead! So glad to see it up and running. The room has a great view, but needs a little work on the electrical and bathrooms

Anonymous April 19, 2014

Beachhead is a delightful condo resort with friendly & professional staff on the grounds. We enjoyed meeting and socializing with others in the resort. The unit we were in had a marvelous view but the interior left much to be desired. It is in dire need of upgrades including 1) lighting that works 2)properly functioning dishwasher, 3)proper sofa bed or other sleeping arrangement in living area 4)repair or replace the window frame & mechanism in master bedroom (it falls out when raised) 5) many small cosmetic upgrades to include regluing or replacing peeling wallpaper, etc. 6) the 2 story climb to the unit was a bit of a pain but was actually good for us.

Kent U. July 9, 2014

We had a great time, the Condo was nice, clean, the view was great. We enjoyed the swimming pool after the days on the beach. Shopping and great restaurents were close. All and all a great experience. Thank you we'll be back!

Anonymous May 13, 2014

No complaints. Right on the beach as described. Has a dvd player. Only thing wish I knew before is if you book with Port A Escapes you need to check in with them. Their location is very close but it would have saved time to know that beforehand. Check in and out was super quick. I appreciate that a lot.

Dolores G. May 6, 2014

Great view! Needs basic updating! Paint, Caulking, deco, faucets in bathrooms and kitchen. There were no cushions on the metal slatted chairs. Need to upgrade to bar height chairs that don't need cushions so that you can see the view over the railing! Sofa is great! Over all nice basic place to stay!

Anonymous June 26, 2018

It was super clean. We loved the view and also liked that we had everything we needed to cook.

Anonymous September 5, 2013

We have stayed at Beachhead condos before, and have always had a great time. We had a wonderful time, as usual. However, we were disappointed in the condition of this particular unit. There were several issues in the area of general upkeep of the unit that needed attention. Peeling wallpaper in the bathroom repaired with staples! Rusty shower curtain rod, and tub also rusted and in need of fresh caulking. The pull out sofa in such bad condition it was useless. The unit was just not well kept by the owner. All things that would seem to be quick and easy fixes. I will stay at Beachhead again but will avoid this unit.

Linda K. June 13, 2017

we were looking for a quiet weekend close to the shore so we wouldn't live in a car all weekend. It met my needs.

Anonymous May 2, 2018

Tiles broken in pieces on the bathroom floors wear shoes. Pool being renovated, false advertisements. Real estate office lady for check in rude and obviously annoyed over the phone and in person, however when checking out the gentlemam very polite and friendly. Location excellent !!! Beach clean, condo clean.

Anonymous February 13, 2018

The island continues to clean up from Harvey and our unit was one of just a few that were available. Unit was clean, everything worked, we had a pleasant long weekend. Unit could use some renovation - not that anything was damaged, it’s just showing it’s age. Still, we’d rent the unit again the next time we visit Port A.

Anonymous July 5, 2017

This unit seriously needs updating. The plumbing fixtures have passed their useful lives, showers don't drain very well, floor tiles in the bathrooms are coming up and partially missing, the flooring in the bedroom is carpeting and it's really, really stained and the unit has a musty smell. Luckily, not much time was spent indoors (at the beach) and the beds were good. If you do plan on spending some time indoors, this unit may not be the best choice for you.

Chris M. June 27, 2017

Furniture and appliances very dated, Carpet dirty around baseboards. A/C great. Remote to tv worked poorly.

Anonymous March 2, 2018

Condo needs a complete update from head to toe. Had to buy our own baking dish and glassware, was all plastic. TV was very low quality.
Not good for extended stay maybe ok for very short term.

I LOVED IT, AS I WROTE IN MY FIRST REVIEW, YET I STILL GET THESE ANNOYING SURVEYS. THIS IS THE THING THAT WILL KEEP ME FROM COMING BACK. JUNK EMAILS - INTERNET THROUGHOUT PROPERTY WAS NOT RELIABLE - SOME UNITS WITHIN OUR GROUP HAD GREAT INTERNET, DINING HALL HAD WONDERFUL INTERNET.

Anonymous July 26, 2017

The property was older but well maintained for the most part. The view could have been slightly better and regulations regarding unsupervised children in the courtyard, playground, and pool areas need to be implemented. Also, large partys would gather on the boardwalk blocking the walkway to and from the Complex to the Beach. Very annoying since they made no attempt to move and we had to step off the boardwalk into the dunes and grasses to get past. Overall, the condo itself was really nice. I especially liked the layout of the living room area. I LOVED the APP that allowed easy communication and information transfer. The APP made our stay so much more convenient. As a frequent visitor to Port Aransas, I will definitely look into other Port A Escapes rental Units.

John V. May 19, 2018

All was good except some noise from construction which is understandable because of the storm damage

Sherry C. July 25, 2018

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the condo. Perfect view of Gulf, very clean, comfortable beds, easy access to the beach. Will book again for our next trip.

Tina K. August 15, 2018

The condo was clean and ready to go when we arrived in Port A. We had a little bit of an issue finding the unit, so a map would have helped. The view from our balcony was outstanding. Port A Escapes is very responsive, which I appreciate. The property seems to be recovering nicely from Hurricane Harvey.
